Cumberland Advocate: Front

Cumberland is indeed surrounded by water, but we are connected to the "mainland" by roads and bridges. We are located in the heartland of Wisconsin lake country with 15 lakes located within 15 miles of the city. Cumberland sits on the banks of Beaver Dam Lake which has a maximum depth of 106 feet. We are in Barron County and located about 65 miles north from Eau Claire, 95 miles south of Duluth, Minnesota and 90 miles away from the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Cumberland is found on the junction of highways 63 and 48.

While our population is small, approximately 2250, we find that we offer the best of all worlds. We have the small town community life, but we are definitely just minutes away from metro area. We know our neighbors, those we meet in churches and also in our downtown businesses. We have a very active downtown, but as you can tell from our location, if we don't have it and you believe you need it, it's available within a short space of time and travel.

We offer the ultimate in outdoor fishing, hunting, and boating. We also have great water and cross country skiing along with snowmobile and hiking trails nearby. We have fine golf, bowling, camping and numerous other forms of recreation.

Thanks for visiting us on-line, we're pleased to have you. This is just a sample of what our community offers, stop by and visit to experience the welcoming atmosphere!
